AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoEarthquake Response: Antigua and Barbuda are still tallying damage after a powerful quake struck Saturday morning, first logged around magnitude 6.5 and later revised to 6.4 by the UWI Seismic Research Centre; it hit at about 10:50 a.m., was felt across islands including Anguilla, and no injuries have been reported so far as NODS teams verify reports and reach out to the Chamber of Commerce for business impacts. Regional Context: Earlier coverage this week pegged the May 16 quake at about 6.0 with a shallow depth near 30–31 km and confirmed no major tsunami threat, but residents described it as among the most frightening they’ve felt. Tech & Travel Watch: Separate from the quake news, Caribbean tourism is being pitched as entering a “new strategic phase,” with Latin American demand—especially premium travel—rising sharply and operators pushing for year-round, higher-value bookings. Local Agriculture Spotlight: Nevis’ agriculture minister praised Anguilla’s Agri Fest 2026 as a strong, tech-enabled showcase for food security in a dry climate.
